Hi there.

I have been playing with "msort.c", the primary implementation of the
standard library qsort() function.  I have a trivial change that
nevertheless speeds it up by up to 10%.  It seems to me that this
would be a cheap but impactful improvement.

Unfortunately I lack the resources or wherewithal to follow the
procedure outlined at
[https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist], to build
and test the entire library.  Would it be possible to have an existing
contributor submit the patch on my behalf?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chris.
